Today whilst driving the Blue Menace the car started to pull heavily right under braking and accleration.

It gave no tell tale noise or action and nothing wrong was immedaitely visible

possibly - but that shouldnt affect acceleration and it does happen when you are just cruising along.

Steering arm?

I had one of the bolts sheer off on mine. Caused bad torque steer/pulling under acceleration and braking. Took me ages to figure it out.

:shock: Have you still got a pilgrim stuck under the car dragging on the right hand side, or you have bent your tie rod or castor rod going up gutters after them trying to better your highest score ? :lol: :lol: :P :P

Could be a brake dragging?
Any knocking, thumping cluncking noises when you are driving?

How far to the right?

If you are going further to the right than Johnny Howard that should be normal for you, if you are talking Pauline Hanson right then maybe you should get it looked at. :P

How are the front wheel cylinders doing?

nup - well other than the ones a Moke usually makes

I will check out the steering arm - but I will also check the rack given that it coppeda bashing when it was flogged.

The I just looked at the brakes and the application looks equal between the two fronts and the shoes appear at the same height on both sides.
